    Yes, I actually do have an actual RockPro64 and I've been using it as a NAS, torrentbox, and Nextcloud server for my home. My family uploads their pictures and videos there. It's one of the few SBCs I've found that you can plug SATA drives into, and I dropped in two WD Blue 3 and 4 TB drives for a total of 7TB of storage. I've had a series of journal entries describing my experience when I built the thing early 2019 and it's been working well with few issues ever since.

      I considered that one too, but it seems that Odroid doesn't provide any cases with a form factor big enough to hold more than one 3.5" drive. I think that was practically the only reason why I went with the RockPro64 instead.
